Out of Sorts

Okay. Yesterday I was in pain the whole day, possibly due to a pinched nerve in my neck. This morning that's faded and almost gone, but I have a dry, irritated throat. Sucking zinc in the hopes I don't get a cold.

I ran my X-world game for the first time last night. I had a lot of trouble gathering my thoughts, between the pain and the long interval since previously running a game. I'm wondering now if part of it was coming down with whatever this is. I will definitely try to have more ready for next time. In truth, though, I needed to get a feel for what would work with the characters, rather than trying to force them into something inappropriate.

Will try to make the LexFA meeting at Gattitown today. Not making any promises.

Chicken Muddle Soup

This is one of my favorite cold weather meals: To a can of your favorite chicken noodle soup, add diced tofu, sliced water chestnut, sliced bamboo shoots, garlic to taste, and either bulgar wheat or wheat germ. Heat to barely boiling. (For extra flavor let simmer for a while.) Add soy sauce to taste just before serving.
